5-year-old Iris Grace from UK teaches us that nothing
will stand in front of art. Monet used to paint when almost blind at an old
age, Iris spreads her brush while with autism.
Little Iris is slowly learning to speak, whereas most
children have already begun to speak at least a few words by age 2. Along with
speech therapy, her parents gradually introduced her to painting, which is when
they discovered her amazing talent.
Iris’s work is creating a buzz in the art world. A
private collector has bought last year, two of her original works for £1,500 each.
Prints are being snapped up for as much as £295.
Autism is a poorly-understood neurological disorder
that can impair an individual’s ability to engage in various social
interactions. But little 5-year-old Iris Grace in the UK is an excellent
example of the unexpected gifts that autism can also grant – her exceptional
focus and attention to detail have helped her create incredibly beautiful
paintings that many of her fans (and buyers) have likened to Monet’s works.
